Trouble with Bastard Tribbles in Arizona

With the passing of Arizona’s “Women’s Health and Safety Act”, it becomes painfully obvious how little women are respected by politicians everywhere.
By declaring a woman pregnant before conception, they are hoping to reduce the number of abortions performed. There are practical and logical issues with this piece of insanity.
Practically, since many diseases are untestable before the twenty week mark, women will be forced to carry children to term that will only survive a few months or years. This will also increase the numbers of dangerous alley abortions.
Yes, most pregnancies are the result of consensual sex; yet, this law imposes on the liberties of all pregnancies, especially rape victims. Under this law, rapists would still perform sexual assault; but, they can’t be held accountable for fatherhood as the woman was already legally pregnant.
Following the logic even further, every menstruating virgin girl becomes pregnant near twelve times a year. There are innumerable Virgin Marys in Arizona now, thank God. Also, it follows that out of wedlock pregnancies are also on the rise. Couples that conceive in Arizona on their wedding night automatically have bastard children. Is that what these faitheists want? They strip the rights of innocent women and in the process soil their most holy of unions, marriage!
Technically, if females can be declared pregnant before sex, then since her eggs exist at birth, women are born pregnant and lose a thousand pregnancies a month after puberty starts. If the same logic were applied to men, then we’d have to call the testes “abortion factories” on a scale that dwarfs anything done intentionally worldwide.
It becomes obvious that the state needs to retract these restrictions on women and back away from infringing on the liberties for all.

I’m always amazed by so called small government conservatives who run to the drafting table to compose ever tighter restrictions on individual liberty because they lack the intellect to sit and discuss the issue with an eye toward rational self-interest and the right of all individuals (male as well as female) to life, liberty and their own vision of what constitutes the pursuit of happiness. What if there were a law that required all single males to abstain from sex until they were married or suffer a mandatory vasectomy to limit the potential for promiscuous causation of unwanted pregnancies? Would all of those religious zealots who demand the authority to dictate how and what a woman does with her own body feel the same about forcing her into little more than an animal destined to breed whether her pregnancy was consensual or not, whether she was deceived with broken promises or not, or …add your own scenario?

What if the government were to decide that no family should have no more than two children and upon the birth of the second child, the male member of the couple had to submit to castration or prison because he is viewed as the source of most irresponsible sexual behavior? How would you profits of doom and gloom and purveyors of personal sacrifice [so long as it’s not your own sacrifice] feel living under those conditions. Liberty is liberty and slavery is slavery…to claim superior judgment and power that come from some god that no one can prove exists is to place the target of that judgment in the position of slave and the judge in position of the slave master. Get a clue you misogynist, ignorant, whim worshiping savage sycophants of mystics and witch doctors.

Great post! Hurrah! Male or female, we here in the states are all Americans and we all have the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and private property rights that include our own bodies. Go find some frog to dissect in your pursuit of omnipotent power – just make sure you aren’t cutting into the egg sac of a pregnant female.

Sorry for the typos…no more than two children instead of more than… and profit instead of prophet ….come instead of comes….and any others. I should know not to post while watching hockey playoff games…to many brain focus interruptions. My apologies to you and your reader.

No problem, RIck! Thanks for the great reply. You are right, freedom is freedom, any exceptions, no matter how well meaning, will lead to slavery. This particular law is next in line for my States of the Union sonnets.

How about the Tennessee legislator that wanted birth certificates to be carried and show to prove that a person had the right to use a particular restroom, all because he was tired of non gender conforming individuals using their restroom of choice.

I didn’t hear about that one, though I don’t get as much news as I’d like. If you know of any seriously anti-non-gender conforming legislation anywhere, I may consider it for my States of the Union sonnets, also blogged here. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
